Ealing Broadway hosts free sandcastle event for families on 30 July

Ealing Broadway will transform its town square into a temporary beach on 30 July 2026 for a free summer event. Families can take part in creative activities, collect giveaways, and enter a sandcastle-building competition. The event runs from 11am to 2pm.

The sandcastle competition begins at 1.30pm. Three winners will each receive a £25 voucher for Smiggle, as reported by the Ealing Times. Children of all ages can participate without prior registration.

Home-Start Ealing, a charity providing support to parents and carers with young children, will have a presence at the event. Staff will discuss the organisation’s services, volunteering opportunities, and ways the public can get involved.

Caroline Chapman, director of Home-Start Ealing, said the event would help the charity reach more families. "We're incredibly grateful to Ealing Broadway for helping us connect with more families," she told the Ealing Times.
